H.E ABDI IBRAHIM HASSAN
GOVERNOR, ISIOLO COUNTY
The work of building unstoppable momentum towards a highly-skilled, innovation-driven, resource-efficient, connected, and high-opportunity society for all begins now. Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But they will be met. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of making Isiolo great.
Facilitation of an inclusive participatory engagement in development; creation of a vibrant and welcoming environment that allows optimal utilization of available resources.
A secure, just, integrated and prosperous county where all enjoy full potential and high quality of life.

OUR PRIORITY AREAS
HEALTH
We prioritize an enormous amount of resources in the health of our people and consider it an invaluable investment to the development of our great County. Our focus, therefore, is improving human resources for health, patient access to effective and affordable medicine, and shifting from curative healthcare to a more preventive strategy (primary healthcare).
WATER
We are a government that believes in access to safe and clean water for all. We, therefore, make meaningful investments in the water sector for durable and environmentally friendly infrastructure that focuses on drilling boreholes and the construction of water pans. Our efforts also extend to augmenting piping to supply clean, fluoride-free water for domestic and agricultural use.
AGRICULTURE
Our investments in agriculture are intentionally climate-smart and designed to address food security issues and enhance pastoralism while integrating diversification into crop farming.
EDUCATION
We believe in the importance of Early Childhood Education and are therefore investing in both its human resources and infrastructure requirements. An equal level of attention has been directed to our polytechnics for the acquisition of vocational skills as we believe jobs and businesses of the near future will demand a wide range of skill sets.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Modern infrastructure is pivotal for the socioeconomic development of any society. To spur growth and development, we are as a government investing in roads for connectivity, a state-of-the-art FIFA standard stadium, and a modern market to increase trading volumes and revenue.
TECHNOLOGY
As the world moves towards reliance on modern technological solutions, governments can not afford to be left behind. We have therefore shifted our operations from manual to digital platforms; Electronic Payroll, Electronic County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (E-CIMES), Geographical Information System (GIS), and Disaster Information Management System (DIMS).
